Their friendship came（3） a game． In the game， David and Amy were on the same team．After this game， they became good friends， David even told her about his dream of music．

What's better for learning， hands﹣onprojects or tests？
动手操作的项目测试
A． Learning， not memorizing
B． Studying gets boring
C． Less stress with tests
D． Better job preparation
E． Better by the book
F． Creative learning
| （1）I think kids learn better by studying for tests． If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn， you'll remember it． Hands﹣on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time， and If you are stressed， you might not learn as much． |
| （2） When people study， they remember what was in the book． If they know they have a test， they will most likely to take notes on all the important information to help them with the test， so they will learn it better． |
| （3） With a hands﹣on project， you can be creative while you learn． It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards． Plus， with a hands﹣on project， you can learn more than you expected． It's more satisfying to learn on your own without someone explaining it to you． |
| （4） Hands﹣on projects are better． When you are studying for a test， it can get boring and then you can get distracted（注意力分散的）． You learn better doing projects because it is not boring and you experience new things depending on what you are doing． |
| （5） I think kids learn hands﹣on projects because they have to consider the topic， instead of just memorizing information that they'll forget about after the test． Also， completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family． |
Is there a connection between music and language？ According to recent studies， the answer is yes： （1） Here， we look at two examples．
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． （2） The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training． The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly．
（3） Think about violinists in an orchestra （管弦乐团）． When the violinists play with the group， they hear their own instrument and many others， too． But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing， and pay no attention to the other sounds． In this way， musicians are able to focus on certain sounds， even in a room with lots of noise．
Schlaug， a doctor at Harvard Medical School， works with stroke （中风） patients． Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names， addresses， or other information normally． However， they can still sing． （4） Why does this work？ Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to make different parts of the brain work， including the damaged （损坏的） parts． This might help patients to use that part of the brain again．
Music improves concentration （注意力）， memory， listening skills， and our overall language abilities． （5） Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp （敏锐的） as we get older． Music is not only enjoyable， it's also good for us in many other ways．
A． It can even help sick people get better．
B．Music helps people solve some hearing problems．
C． Music improves certain language abilities in the brain．
D． The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin．
E． Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds．
F． Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak．
G． In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．
There are purple clothes， purple handbags， purple bicycles， purple furniture， even purple computers! So purple is one of the most（1） colors today． But in the past， purple was a very expensive and unusual color． Let's take a look at the rich（2） of the color purple．
Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago（3） looked purple， not green． Plants today are green because（4） use green chlorophyll （叶绿素） to produce energy． （5） these early plants probably used something called retinal， which is a dark purple color．
During the time of the Roman Empire （37BC﹣476AD）， it was very（6） to make purple dye （染料）． The dye came from sea snails （海螺）．But 10，000 dead sea snails（7） you just one gram （克）of purple dye…as well as a very bad smell! This（8） purple dye was called Tyrian purple， and it was the preferred（9） of emperors．
In 16th﹣﹣century England， purple was（10） for the kings family members． Queen Elizabeth I's clothes were purple， but ordinary people were not allowed to（11） the color．
In 1856， William Perkin， an 18﹣year﹣old（12） student， noticed something strange while doing an experiment （实验）． The chemicals （化学药品） he used to clean his instruments（13） with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color． This（14） led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye． The dye was much（15） than sea﹣snail dye． Thanks to Perkin， now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes．

Dear Linda，
（1）
As I told you yesterday， I am in Rome today． Tomorrow we are getting the train down into the south of the country and then a ship across to Greece．
（2）
We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury．We visited a lot of great history and the only bad thing was the weather﹣it rained the whole time we were there． Can you believe it？
（3）
Well， I have to say I prefer the American Disneyland． But we we met some nice people from Canada and spent two great days with them．One of them，Clive，is going to your university next year．How's that for a coincidence（巧合）!
（4）
After that，we went south into Switzerland． It was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we wanted to，so that's why we're in Italy now!
（5）
See you soon．
Mike
